A taste of Provence for the Holiday's

Add a little Feliz Navidad to your holiday dishes this season!

Eating, Drinking and enjoying life every day is what is the order life in Spain. Here is a basic description of what most taverns have to offer. The big favorite (everywhere in Spain, no matter how far from the sea) is deep-fried fish: Calamares are rings of squid; Boquerones are fresh anchovies (you munch the whole crispy thing); Lenguado are small sole; Gambas are shrimp or prawns of varying sizes, usually served a La Plancha(in Spanish, "Frito" means deep-fried and "a la Plancha" means pan-fried) with heads, legs and all - you peel them yourself (it's messy, but fun).

Bring a world of flavors to your holiday menus with cusine from the Far East

The huge, vast geography of China echoes through all variations of Chinese cuisine. To begin, it is best to divide Chinese cuisine into four major regions: the North, including Beijing; the East with the Yangtze River; the South, famous for their Cantonese cooking and the West of Szechwan and Hunan Provinces

Canton is, perhaps, the most famous of the food areas.

Mediterranean flavors for the holiday

The holidays are about tradition usually dating back to what your grandmother did and what she learned from her mother; So very cautiously if at all do we incorporate new ways of doing things, eating things, and preparing things for fear of breaking traditon. I have written this article with just that in mind, cautiously bringing in new flavors to your holiday season and what better way to add new flavor and color to your holiday dishes than with the very dynamic flavors of the Mediterranean?

The Cocktail Party – the best of the best!

Cocktail parties arrived on the scene in the 1950’s. Hollywood glamorized the cocktail party as celebrities stood around in glitzy rooms with the sounds of laughter, music and ice cubes clinking in glasses.

One reason that cocktail parties are a great way to entertain is that they accommodate all kinds of guests, ranging from neighbors to business associates. Mixing guests at a cocktail party is easy. The traditional time frame for a cocktail party is two to three hours in length, held between 6 P.M. and 10 P.M.
